Jefferson - Boys Track

Timauntay Jones sets 800 mark at Hawkins Relays

Linn-Mar senior Brandon Ophoff claimed he got a little lucky at the 47th Annual Hawkins Relays at Prairie High School on Tuesday.

It's funny how lucky a guy gets when he combines talent, hard work and determination into great success.

Ophoff shattered meet records in the 110 meter high hurdles and 400 low hurdles, grabbed the state lead in both events, set personal bests in both races and broke Kyle Dunn's school record in the 110 highs.

"I got a little bit of a breeze at my back, a little bit of luck," Ophoff said after his remarkable performance. "I think God was looking over me tonight, that's for sure, because those were some good times. I'm glad today went the way it did."

Ophoff zoomed to victory in the 110 high hurdles in 13.9 seconds, smashing the meet record of 14.42 and breaking Dunn's school mark of 13.96 set just a year ago.

He claimed the 400 low hurdles in 53.49 seconds to snap the meet record of 54.1 that had stood for 25 years while setting another personal record in the process.

"It's great I ran fast tonight, but I have to run fast when it counts," he said.

It will count next week when Ophoff competes at the Drake Relays in Des Moines. The 110 high hurdles will be held on Friday, April 27 and the 400 low hurdles will be staged on Saturday, April 28.

Linn-Mar hurdles coach Tim Stamp credits Ophoff's success to a terrific work ethic, strenuous training and intelligence. He also notes Ophoff was a gymnast when younger, contributing to his great flexibility as he flies over the hurdles.

"He's the most efficient hurdler I've ever coached," said Stamp, who coached his first state hurdles champ in 1982. "He's just a tough, hard-nosed kid."

Dunn, now a freshman at track power Arkansas, won Class 4A state titles in the 110 highs and 400 lows last year. It appeared his school record of 13.96 in the 110 highs might last a while, but it lasted only one year.

Erase Dunn's name and insert Ophoff's.

"That's definitely something that was on my checklist for the year," Ophoff said after breaking Dunn's mark in the 110 highs, "but it was going to be a little iffy whether I could do that or not."

There was no "if" about it Tuesday.

Ophoff performed in Dunn's shadow last year, but he has the spotlight all to himself in the hurdles this season.

"Kyle is the best thing that could have ever happened to me, just being able to be behind him for three years," Ophoff remarked. "I never would have thought that times like that would ever be possible if it weren't for Kyle. He was right in my backyard for three years; (I was) watching him and trying to model myself after him."

Ophoff attacks the high hurdles like those wooden barriers are his enemy.

"You have to attack," he said. "You have to think 'through' the hurdles, not over them. You can't waste time in the air, because you're slowing down."

Ophoff set the pace on a record-setting night at the Hawkins Relays. Six records bit the dust, including a spectacular showing by Timauntay Jones of Jefferson in the 800 meter run. His clocking of 1:56.90 was the second-fastest in the state this year, according to the Iowa High School Athletic Association website.

Jacob Aune of Prairie set a meet record in the 3200 in 9:40.51, Xavier established a new standard in the 4x200 relay in 1:30.62 and the Marion Indians claimed a spot in the record book with a 58.62 showing in the shuttle hurdle relay.

Linn-Mar emerged from a tight three-way battle with Marion and Xavier to claim the team championship with 104.5 points. The Marion Indians finished second in the seven-team field with 98.5 points and the Saints placed third with 92. Prairie edged Jefferson for fourth place, 72-71.

Josh Evans raced to victory in the 1600 meter run in 4:22.73 for Linn-Mar, placing him among the state leaders in the event. The Lions also captured the 4x800 relay.

Craig Murtha doubled in the shot put and discus for Xavier and Alec Clasen claimed the high jump for the Saints at 6-foot-5.

Marion captured the sprint medley and 4x100 relay in addition to its record-setting effort in the shuttle hurdle relay.

Austin Dellamuth won the 400 meter dash for Prairie in a swift 50.39 seconds and Demetrius Harper took the long jump for the Hawks at 19 feet, 11 inches.

Nate Karlan flashed to victory in the 100 meter dash for Jefferson in 10.76 seconds. The J-Hawks also captured the 4x400 relay.

Jefferson - Boys Track

Marion proves it can run with 4A teams

The Marion High School boys track team was anxious to see how it would fare against all the Class 4A schools at the 26th Wilkinson Relays on Thursday.

They did quite well, thank-you.

The Indians finished ahead of Kennedy, Jefferson, Prairie and Waterloo East in the team standings. Heck, they even finished ahead of the Linn-Mar Lions, who practically own the city of Marion when it comes to high school sports.

The Indians beat everybody at Kingston Stadium except the Washington Warriors, and they came darn close to getting them as well.

Washington won the meet with 135 points and Marion placed a strong second in the seven-team field with 123 points. Linn-Mar was third with 117.

The Indians have done very well in track this spring, but most of those meets were against fellow Class 3A schools. They faced nothing but 4A competition Thursday and proved they can run with the big dogs.

"We did," said Lukas Mees, Marion's top distance runner. "Coming in our coach told us that people aren't going to be thinking about us. But we have what it takes to really compete, and I believe we showed them that today.

"I feel we're showing them who we are. Our people are stepping up to the plate."

Marion won four events. Zach Bornes doubled in the shot put (48-1) and discus (141-4), Issac Frazier captured the high jump (6-4) and the Indians claimed the 4x800 relay with Mees, Greg Sam, Brennen Kelly and Jordan Garthwaite.

The Indians displayed their depth with four second-place showings and six third-place finishes. That means they finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd a total of 14 times in 18 events.

"I feel like some of the 4A schools thought that we weren't able to stand up to them. But we did," said Sam. "Amazing. I'm proud of everybody."

It's still early, but Mees thinks the Indians have the right stuff to compete for the Class 3A state championship this year. "I think we have a chance to challenge for the title, and that's a huge goal," he said.

The Washington Warriors won six events and got an eye-popping time of 48.70 seconds from Nick Corbett in the 400 meter dash, but they might have to put an asterisk next to that one. The Washington coaches acknowledged that meet officials may have made a mistake and put Corbett in the wrong spot at the start of the race, requiring him to run only 389 meters instead of 400.

Corbett was clocked in 50.78 seconds in the 400 last Saturday at the John Ask Relays at Kingston Stadium, which was a personal best. If he indeed ran a 48.70 on Thursday, it means he would have chopped more than two seconds off his top performance and would have posted the fastest 400 time in the state this year.

Corbett was not aware of the disputed distance when he excitedly talked to reporters after the race. "Honestly tonight, I don't know what happened!" he exclaimed, not realizing he may have inadvertently run a shortened race through no fault of his own.

Jabez Walker of Linn-Mar finished second in the 400 and was given a time of 49.30 seconds, which also was in dispute along with several other times in the race.

Josh Evans and Brandon Ophoff of Linn-Mar submitted sterling times in their specialties, and there was no dispute about those. Evans blazed to victory in the 1600 in 4:25.16 and Ophoff claimed the 110 high hurdles in 14.39 seconds.

Evans set a personal record in the 1600. "I felt pretty strong," he said. "I never felt like I was dying."

Will Griffin of Washington won the 100 meter dash in 10.88 seconds as he continues to round into form. Drake Hickok of Washington trimmed Ophoff in the 400 meter hurdles in 54.52 seconds. The Warriors also won the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

Prairie captured the 4x200 and sprint medley relays.

Derek Jacobus of Kennedy won the long jump at 21 feet, 4 inches.

Jefferson - Boys Track

Nick Corbett running away from politics

Nick Corbett will leave running for political office to his father. He just likes to run on an all-weather track, and he's becoming very good at it.

Corbett blazed to victory in the 400 meter dash in 50.78 seconds Saturday at the John Ask Relays and anchored Cedar Rapids Washington to an impressive win in the 4x400 relay.

His father, Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, was in Mexico on city business Saturday and unable to attend the meet on a cool day at Kingston Stadium, but he was rooting for his son from afar.

"He texted me this morning," Corbett said after his strong showing in the open 400. "He said 'good luck,' so that was nice of him. He's always rooting for me."

Corbett, a junior at Washington, said he has no political ambitions of his own. "I try to stay away from politics," he said. "It's not my thing."

Corbett qualified for the 400 meter dash at the Class 4A state meet last year as a sophomore, but finished 23rd and dead last in Des Moines. "If he qualifies this year, I guarantee he won't be dead last again," Washington distance coach Will Harte remarked.

Corbett's personal best in the 400 last year was 51.9 seconds, so he's already chopped more than a second off his P.R. and the season is just starting to heat up. He'd love to crack 50 seconds and appears well on his way.

"I hope so," he said. "I was definitely happy with my time today. It's what I've been working for."

The Warriors put a strong 4x400 unit together with Drake Hickok, Noah Dostal, Robert Hogg and Corbett clocked in a winning time of 3:27.44, which would have been good enough to place at state last year.

Iowa City West won the John Ask title with 330 points. Linn-Mar finished second with 303 markers, followed by Bettendorf, Washington, Prairie, Jefferson and Kennedy.

The Linn-Mar Lions won five events to reinforce their status as the top boys track team in the Metro area at this point. Brandon Ophoff claimed two of those victories by taking the 110 high hurdles in 14.69 seconds and notching the 400 low hurdles in 55.47 seconds.

Ophoff also ran the opening leg on Linn-Mar's victorious shuttle hurdle relay with Mike Keiser, Ryan Wirth and Colton Sanchez in 1:00.22. The Lions also took the 4x800 relay with Jabez Walker, Duggan Trenary, Tanner Rathje and Matt Simon in 8:04.98.

Linn-Mar junior Josh Evans, the runnerup at the Class 4A state cross country meet last fall, won the 1600 in 4:31.16 and placed second in the 3200 in 9:36.35.

"I was really happy with my times today. I think it's been a good season so far," he said after winning the 1600.

Evans trailed Daniel Gardarsson and Bailey Wetherell of Iowa City West on the final lap of the 1600 and appeared to be fading, but he picked up the pace in the final 200 meters and won by more than two seconds.

"I said I'm not going to let them go. I stayed on those guys," Evans remarked of his strong kick. "We got to the back stretch and I felt I could probably go by one of them.

"I just felt strong," he said. "It was fun. It was a good race."

Cedar Rapids Jefferson junior Timauntay Jones left a calling card at Kingston Stadium by claiming the 800 meter run in 1:58.51. He also finished second in the 400 behind Corbett in 51.76.

Cedar Rapids Prairie won the sprint medley in 3:36.59 with Austin Dellamuth, Demetrius Harper, Tristan Beyer and Jacob Aune carrying the baton.

Kennedy sophomore Derek Jacobus won the long jump with a leap of 21 feet, 3 inches.
